We have some exciting features in active development for version 1.1 - stay tuned.

Although Pediatrics Black Book is designed for the iPhone at this time, care was taken to ensure it looks great on an iPad running in 2x mode. Unfortunately, version 1.0 contained a bug that prevented the app from loading properly when viewed on an iPad. That bug was fixed (along with a few typos) and is available now in version 1.0.1. Thanks to Apple for granting an expedited review and approving the fix in only one business day. We apologize if you were negatively affected by our mistake.

Looking forward, we have a handful of content tweaks planned for version 1.0.2. These include increased accuracy for weight in the maintenance fluids/calories calculator, correction of male information appearing in the female development section, and more. We are also actively developing new features and content to appear in future updates. Stay tuned.

Gibbz Inc. is happy to announce the release of Pediatrics Black Book, an iPhone-exclusive reference app for pediatric health care professionals.

About

Pediatric health professionals often rely on paper reference guides to view current information, best practices, and diagrams. Dr. Ryan Brown originally created such a paper reference guide for pediatricians at the University of Oklahoma, entitled “Brown’s Little Black Book of Pediatrics.”

His valuable guide is now an app - designed for fast access to relevant information and to increase speed and efficiency among professionals. Material was designed in collaboration with several pediatricians and crafted specifically for the iPhone.

Pediatrics Black Book also includes a calculator for maintenance fluids and maintenance calories, plus a simple units converter for weight and temperature.

Best of all, the app does not require an internet connection, meaning you can use it anywhere - reliably, fast, and easy.
